Once you have grounded your HiveAP 170, you are ready to connect the antennas.
Note: It is extremely important to properly ground your device to complete
your installation.
The omnidirectional antennas are available from Aerohive (SKUs AH-ACC-170-ANT-2G,
AH-ACC-170-ANT-5G). These antennas fit the N-type antenna connectors on the top
and bottom of the HiveAP 170. The two connectors on the bottom of the unit are for
the 2.4 GHz antennas, and the two on the top of the unit are for the 5 GHz antennas
(device and antennas are labeled).
To connect the antennas, screw them onto the antenna connectors by hand, turning
them clockwise until tight.
Note: You do not need to use a tool to tighten the antennas or apply self-
amalgamating PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) tape around the threads of
the connectors to create a waterproof seal.
1
Remove the short piece of cable sheath from the end of
the grounding cable that does not have the connector.
2
Wrap the exposed wires clockwise snugly around one
of the six grounding lugs and tighten the nut securely.
3
Connect the other end of the grounding cable to a
proper ground.
